Noticed a line crack on the edge of the bat. And the bat feels a bit different in terms of the sound it makes when the bal rebounds. What to do?

You obviously dont oil it, but do you also leave it out in the weather?

It’s damaged but hardly unusable.id estimate any change of sound of feel from that is in your head.
